Christmas Trees of Walnut

They have a very large Christmas Tree in the middle of the main street, the street is cobbled.
Very nostalgic, perfect for Antique City. They have also decorated the other trees along the street, however we weren't there after dark, so I couldn't get a pic of the lights.

A table full of silver and sparkly things at Sow A Seed

I love this little pink tinsel tree, I should get one some time and decorate it with vintage glass ornaments or candy, little spice drops and whatnot. Another tree pic from Sow A Seed.

A lovely tinsely ornament from the forget me not shop.

Tree from the Forget Me Not Shop in Walnut, IA.

I love the feathers , pink bead garland and roses.

Another pretty table tree from the forget me not shop.

All is gold that glitters, another tree from the forget me not shop.

More notions from Walnut,IA...

I found some-more good stuff in my antique shop hunts.

Lavender/taupe spiral scarf

This is another of those lovely spiral scarves (pattern from fuzzygalore.com) that I crocheted using a ball of yarn from sow-a-seed in Walnut, IA.

The longest green scarf

I crocheted this using a ball of yarn from sow-a-seed in Walnut, IA. It's at least 6 ft. long I think...

Sugared fruits

These are some teeny faux-fruits that I found at 'The forget me not' Shop in Walnut, IA.

I took my hot glue gun and coated them with extra fine glitter and affixed velvet leaves to the cherries.

The Spoils of the Hunt

Bias tape: found in bin for 25 cents each.
Vintage buckles: found for 25 to 50 cents each. I'm thinking about making some dresses from the 50's or early 60's and these will do nicely for garnishing waistlines.
Some yummy Lavender Spray to make my linens and room smell lovely.

Zimms: A good shop for vintage postcards, flowers/ hats, etc.
A stand of pretty hats.
I love this one, but it was a little small... Maybe I can design one like it.

The "Forget me not" Shop.
All the world is a Victorian tea party.

One of my favorite shops in Walnut: Sow A Seed
This pic turned out rather dark, but this is a jewelry case full of pwetty, pwetty things.

A delightful lamp.
